Editor, the Record:

News from surrounding counties inform the public of a genuine transgression being made by the federal government to the federal government. The thousands of citizens displaced by the federal government from 1967 to 1980 have been lied to by federal approval of a totally unnatural, permanent construction of a massive power line which will forever mar the marvelous landscape seen in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

The DWGNRA is located in Pike and Monroe counties, as well as Warren and Sussex counties in New Jersey.

Is it progress that disables all the leaders of our county to flip the page quickly and let justice die on this subject?

Only the Scranton editor faced the facts in this issue and predicted a dark future for areas that fail to cherish their natural riches.

In Monroe County, just as it was "thumbs up" for Tocks Island Dam in the 1960s to 1970s, it is "thumbs up" now for an outdated bummer of an installation for swimmers, hikers, photographers and others who crave for nature as it was in the beginning of time.
